The General Staff of the Armed Forces said the targets, which had military equipment, were identified before the strikes through intelligence, according to Bamada.net.
The same surveillance operation had located a gathering of fighters about 50 kilometres south-west of Ménaka on Friday 6 November. This position was also struck after the target was confirmed, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces cited by Bamada.net.
